Don Kelley owns property. He said, "My 91-year-old grandfather, my father and I eat at Hot Stacks on Ocean Drive every morning and when I arrived this morning my father was barreling out of the parking lot and they told me when I came across Robert Edge Parkway, it looked like a bomb had gone off with the smoke. I got here and my father was backing his truck out and the front end of it was on fire"

Investigators are trying to find the cause of the fire.
